Sold as a pairFish hook wiresAntique finish
In short: two miniature gloves that go on in seconds, with no screw back and no clasp to close. Charms sculpted on both faces, in antique silver tone metal, hung from a jump ring on open fish hook ear wires with a coiled spring. €14 the pair, free standard shipping.
On a charm this size the casting goes all the way down to the lace eyelets and the seam running across the palm, with the thumb standing clear of the body. The antique finish darkens the recesses: without that contrast, relief this fine would be lost in the metal.
Sculpted on both faces
The gloves are modelled front and back, not just on the front. Since a drop earring turns freely on its wire, there is no wrong side: the charm shows the lacing on one face and the palm and its seam on the other.
Open fish hook wires
Each glove hangs from a ring on a fish hook ear wire, with its decorative coiled spring and small bead. The wire slips through the piercing and the weight of the glove does the rest: nothing to screw, nothing to clip. It is the fastest fitting there is.
Technical specifications
Good to know: the hook is open by design, as on every fish hook earring. For all-day or overnight wear, add a pair of silicone backs, which slide on behind the lobe and cost a couple of euros at any pharmacy. Wipe the charms with a dry soft cloth after wear, no polishing paste: the patina lives in the hollows of the lacing.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price for the pair?
Yes, the listed price covers both earrings, matching, supplied on their wires. They are not sold singly.
How do fish hook earrings go on?
The curved wire slides through the piercing front to back and then swings down on its own: the weight of the charm holds it in place. It is the quickest fitting there is, with no screw back and no clasp. A silicone back behind the lobe secures longer wear.
Is the back of the glove sculpted too?
Yes, both faces are modelled: eyelets and lacing on one, the palm seam on the other. Since a drop earring turns freely, there is no face to hide.
Why an antique finish?
Because the motif is small. The recesses are darkened and the raised areas left bright, which puts the shadows back and makes the lacing readable at conversation distance. On evenly bright metal, carving this fine would disappear.
How do I look after them?
A dry soft cloth after wear, no polishing paste and no silver dip: the patina that gives the motif its depth sits in the hollows of the lacing. Take them off before the shower and the pool, and store them flat rather than loose with other pieces.
